3 ways a hosted desktop can cut your IT costs
17th August 2021
Running a successful company involves keeping tabs on your spending, which is not always an easy task. Paying for IT services can be particularly expensive, and as a result, many entrepreneurs are constantly looking for ways to bring their IT spending down. Switching to a hosted desktop is one option to consider, but how can this reduce your IT spending?
No need for servers or associated hardware
One of the big contributors to IT spending is buying servers and associated hardware. These pieces of essential kit are not cheap and can see your costs rocketing as a result. In addition to the initial cost of buying this equipment, you will also need to buy new kit to remain competitive. Moving to a cloud-based hosted desktop eliminates these costs.
Reduced maintenance costs
Another way hosted desktops can cut your organisation's IT costs relates to maintenance. If you currently operate your IT servers and associated kit in-house, then you are also liable for their upkeep. This can often be a significant amount per annum. It is also worth noting that covering maintenance costs for pieces of IT kit takes money away from other core business areas. Switching to a hosted desktop means you do not have to worry about maintaining on-site IT hardware, which could save you money.
Reduced HR costs for IT staff
Putting your IT needs into the cloud can also see you spend less on IT staff. If you choose managed IT services, for example, you have all the help you need at hand and do not need to employ IT staff to manage your network. In addition, the lack of IT hardware on-site means there is no need to employ people to buy, set up or maintain it.
